Yesterday's walk was actually very easy and comfortable. The weather was cool, deliciously cool perhaps even crisp. This was probably the easiest session of my marathon training. I think it was a combination doing a better job following the training schedule, drinking re-hydration fluids instead of water, eating a few extra carbs and that blissfully cool weather.

This wasn't my training partner's best week. She'd been sick and missed some key training time over the last 2 weeks. The last few miles of Saturday's session she was dragging. I absolutely recognized the signs of it and empathized. It's a bitter workout when you try to get back into swing of training after an unplanned break. I also remember that a few weeks ago, she pulled me through the canyon on that walk I absolutely hated. We cut our walk a bit short so that she could recover.

To celebrate we went out for our traditional enormous post workout breakfast. I had a peanut butter cup pancakes which were pure yummy gluttony.

All in all, I'm hoping that the race is on a very cool day and that yummy breakfast foods are available at the finish line.
